DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Protection of Alternate Path vulnerability in ash-project ash_lua allows a user-supplied Lua script to read attributes that are not on the exposed-field allow-list.

AshLua exposes Ash resources to Lua scripts, gated by a manifest declaring which fields are exposed. The read action's operation aggregate path in AshLua.Runtime took the field name straight from the Lua call and resolved it with only String.to_existing_atom and Ash.Query.Aggregate.new!, neither of which consults the exposed-field allow-list the normal fields path enforces. A script can therefore read the value of any attribute of any record the actor may read, including private sensitive?: true columns, via resource.read({ operation = {"list", "hashed_password"} }); min and max give a value oracle. Anyone able to submit or influence a Lua script can reach this.

This issue affects ash_lua: from 0.1.0 before 0.2.1.

AnalysisAI

Sensitive field disclosure in ash_lua (versions 0.1.0 through 0.2.0) allows any actor who can submit a Lua script to read Ash resource attributes that are deliberately excluded from the manifest's exposed-field allow-list - including sensitive?: true columns such as hashed passwords. The operation aggregate path in AshLua.Runtime resolved field names directly via String.to_existing_atom and Ash.Query.Aggregate.new! …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker can submit or directly influence a Lua script evaluated by AshLua.Runtime in the target application - this is the primary gating condition. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.2 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H) accurately captures a high confidentiality impact tempered by a non-trivial attack requirement (AT:P): the attacker must already have the ability to submit or influence a Lua script evaluated by the application. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade ash_lua to version 0.2.1 or later; the patch is confirmed via commit c0dfcd9494766d548178c37df0bd01cff378e1c7 and version boundaries established in the EUVD and GHSA advisory at https://github.com/ash-project/ash_lua/security/advisories/GHSA-37jv-wc37-fhcw. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all applications using ash_lua versions 0.1.0 through 0.2.0 and identify which accept Lua script inputs from potentially untrusted sources. …
